Interventions
We will test the effectiveness of a culturally sensitive, evidence-based, multi-component, behavioral program for treating obesity called Health-Smart. This program will be implemented for 6 months in 20 UF Health Jacksonville primary care clinics by Community Health Workers (CHWs) with Black women patients who have obesity, and followed by either of two physician-implemented behavioral counseling weight loss maintenance programs that are applied quarterly over 12 months to prevent weight gain. Specifically, we will compare the effects on weight-loss and weight-loss maintenance of (1) Health-Smart plus the Patient-Centered, Culturally Sensitive Weight Loss Maintenance Program (PCS-WLM), and (2) Health-Smart plus the Standard Behavioral Weight Loss Maintenance Program (SB-WLM).
